Pros

They say expectations are high, but if you’re competent at automation then you should be able to exceed expectations. Most projects that I have been in had friendly people.

Cons

Had to travel after 1.5 years at the company. Some projects will require you to extend without extra compensation. Some people leave because of the lower salaries and the non-transparency with management.

Pros

Cognizant can be a great place to work at. You have to be self-motivated and driven. You won't often be given a script on how to do your job well. But if you are willing to search for new opportunities, you will find success.

Cons

Just like many other tech companies, layoffs are happening all the time. This often brings many projects to a complete halt. Management never communicates when someone is laid off. And when they are laid off, they often never back fill positions, leaving existing team members working the equivalent of three jobs at once. Most teams there are skeleton crews, ensuring that they cannot reach their full potential.
